Congratulations to Brasenose Honorary Fellow Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Sir Jeffrey Cheah AO on being appointed honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE) by King Charles III – the first time His Majesty has conferred this award on a Malaysian citizen.
This award, which carries the honorary title of ‘Sir’, was given in recognition of his contribution to education, the National Health Service and philanthropy. Tan Sri Jeffrey, Chancellor of Sunway University and Chairman of the Sunway Group, was quoted as saying ‘It is particularly welcomed as the honour is bestowed in recognition of services to higher education, health services and philanthropy – exactly the sectors in which Sunway Group and the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation are making a difference in the world. I consider this honour not just a personal one, but an award that recognises the efforts of everyone affiliated with Sunway Group and the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation in positively impacting society and our beloved country.’
Brasenose is delighted that Tan Sri Jeffrey’s significant contribution to Education at Brasenose as well as elsewhere has been recognised with this award. We look forward to continuing to work with Sunway University.
